What’s coming in WordPress 4.8?

WordPress 4.8 is the first major update to WordPress of 2017 and the first since WordPress co-founder and Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg announced a new direction for releases: the previous directive of three major releases per year is out, and a new feature-focussed release schedule is in, with no goal for the number of releases per year and instead releases going out whenever they’re ready. WordPress 4.8 is due for release on June 8th.

Version 4.8 of WordPress, named “Evans” in honor of jazz pianist and composer William John “Bill” Evans, is available for download. New features in 4.8 add more ways for you to express your business & your brand.
